A personal note about this piece:
In Richmond, MA, there is a rambling brook surrounded by pastoral fields and running beneath the Housatonic train line.. For a short time, I lived on the other side of those train tracks and frequently walked my dog past this view. One day, I passed by and noticed the moon in the sky and was immediately struck with the inspiration to immortalize the moment. I had an antique steel frame that I had been saving for years, and I decided this painting would be the perfect subject for it. –Æ
